By far, the largest number of feature and option changes for any of the WJ model years was in 2002, which is why this expanded section is needed to showcase all of the differences. A lot of new features and options were added, including the HO engine, side air bags, adjustable pedals, automatic wipers and the Tire Pressure Monitor System. On the flipside, this was the first year of "decontenting" for the WJ, and Jeep came up with a dozen items they must have felt owners would not miss. Although it's no big deal for some of the items on the list, practical and safety features like the hood lamp are definitely missed.
